Text of the page (random words):
the teacher had actually been successful at something ok all of those were bitch fest and i can t think of any best friend right now but i still like the idea because it s mine i might be all by myself on this and then obviously i won t use bf13 before comments because that would be stupid posted in uncategorized 75 comments trying out new readers posted on march 14 2013 by readythreadsew if you got a notification today that i d unsubscribed from your wordpress blog i haven t i m trying out different rss readers after the news of the demise of google reader and i thought i d give the wordpress reader a go i hated it so unsubscribed from all the blogs i d added to it i m still reading your blog just not via wordpress posted in uncategorized 1 comment taking a break posted on march 13 2013 by readythreadsew i m going to take a break from sewing for a while which means i won t be blogging either for the past week or so i have done pretty much nothing at all not just sewing and last night i realised that the wips i have lying around are stopping me from doing much of anything i m really not in the mood to sew and haven t been for a while which is probably why i keep making tnts and i m not really very enthusiastic about those it s taken me a while to realise that sewing has become a bit of a chore rather than a pleasant hobby because i feel i should be sewing i m finding it difficult to do anything else i almost feel guilty if i spend a few hours reading a book or playing assassin s creed ii or even cleaning the cooker because i should be sewing silly but my mind works like that sometimes i haven t even watched most of the craftsy courses i bought because again i should be sewing it s possibly just a time of year thing in february last year i posted about having too many clothes and it feels the same now i end up just wearing the same few things over and over as they are all i can get to in my wardrobe because it s so stuffed half the clothes need ironing before i can wear them because they are so crushed and sewing just keeps adding to the chaos at the moment whenever i wear something out of the wardrobe i then wash it but don t put it back i m trying to see what clothes i really want to wear and what just hangs there if i had a sewing room it would be easier to just fit in a little sewing here and there but i have to do all my work in the living room on the dining table with the ironing board set up in the hallway this means that i can t do anything else on my dining table including eating it s only a small table so when the machines are out that pesky should keeps popping into my head i put everything away today and i already feel better about not sewing i think my whole flat needs a spring clean and it was impossible to get started with half of it littered with sewing stuff i ve typed the word sewing so often in this post that it now doesn t look like a real word i now need to find a new storage space for my machines because at the moment they are on a sideboard in the hallway and i just want them tucked out of the way for a while i m sure it s just a mojo thing and i ll be back at it before you know just in case i m wrong though i didn t want anyone concerned about me if i disappear for a few months of course being the contrary type i could be back tomorrow because i suddenly get my mojo back at 6 a m and get my machines back out again ttfn not a typo i play games years out of date posted in uncategorized 8 comments when a tnt is neither tried nor true posted on march 2 2013 by readythreadsew after my last post i realised that i have sewn two version of the simplicity 3696 pj top in a size large and neither of them fits me properly this pattern is a tnt when it becomes a knee length short sleeved nightie but is obviously far too big when sewn as a short long sleeved top the proportions just end up all wrong i ve now bought more of both fabrics and will be sewing them again in a smaller size live and learn i suppose i could have tried to make the two tops smaller but i refuse to even attempt the unpicking of stretch stitched and serged seams i d rather just start over i didn t manage to complete my mini challenge of sewing nine already cut out garments in eleven days mr rts had some unexpected time off work last week and we had things to do so my sewing time was drastically cut i did however get four of the nine garments sewn before the end of february i m sure that you are bored reading about my sewing the same garments over and over and i m getting bored posting about them however this blog was always intended to be a record of my sewing so here are more boring garments simplicity 3696 pjs i had cut the top out in a size large but i sewed 2cm seams on the raglan sleeves and 2 5 tapering in to 3 0cm on the side seams which makes it a not too bad fit the fabric for the pants was one of the worst i have ever sewn i think it was described as a cheesecloth and was the most unstable cottons mix i have ever had the displeasure to sew i am amazed that i got any of the plaid to match up they are lovely and lightweight though so i m looking forward to wearing them when it gets warmer although i m not at all sure how they will survive being washed i m half expecting to just find shredded pieces of fabric in the machine after washing once i have re sewn the previously mentioned two tops in a smaller size i am done sewing pjs for a very long time i do need a couple of new nighties but no more pjs unless of course i find another great fabric the other two garments were yet another skirt and top that can also be a faux dress the top is burda 05 2012 110 and the skirt comes from 04 2007 108 but somewhat altered this is another repeat sewing project that i am done with i ve made three of these faux dresses so far and haven t yet worn any of them i m just waiting for better weather i will get the other five cut out garments sewn soon i ve also managed to increase my stash yet again two of the fabrics are duplicates of those i used for my too large pj tops and one is a duplicate of the navy lycra jersey i used for the pj top posted about about above in case it didn t come out okay my honey bear approves of them all the navy white polka dot was bought as a potential tiramisu but i think it is maybe too heavy it felt like the perfect fabric in the shop but when i pick up the whole 3m length it weighs a lot i still think it would be great for the dress but maybe needs some sort of waist stay so that the whole dress isn t hanging from the shoulder seams i don t think i ve seen a waist stay in a jersey dress so i need to do some research the navy with the roses print was bought to be a top it is a knit of some description and feels absolutely soft and gorgeous i think it would look lovely as a renfrew but i don t yet own the renfrew pattern and at around 17 00 with postage i m not sure i can justify buying it over the past few days i ve been going through all my burda mags to see if i can find just the right pattern for this fabric i ve also just realised that i don t have a clue what i d wear it with other than jeans the next three fabrics in the pile are the duplicate jerseys the purple and the red print are to re sew the too large pj tops the navy was to replace the one used for the top posted about above but as that top turned out okay it ll just go into my stash this one is a slightly horrible poly jersey i don t love the feel of it but i loved the print and colours so had to buy 2m i have this suzi chin pattern and i might use this fabric as a hopefully wearable muslin at the bottom of the pile is this jersey it was described as t shirting on the shop s label but feels a lot nicer and has better recovery than most of the t shirting they sell it was also a little more expensive i had my two suzi chin patterns in mind when i bought it and when i got home and looked at the pattern envelopes i realised why i am always surprised at how much i can be influenced by the fabric used on the front of a pattern envelope sometimes it is obvious such as my red white striped tiramisu for which i knew i was buying the same fabric as on the envelope but this one was a complete surprise buying these new fabrics has taken my stash over the 400m mark it took it to 407 40 but i then sewed the four gaments in this post which brought it down to 401 40 i do however have around 9m cut out for the five unsewn garments and i don t believe that cut out fabric counts as stash mr rts and i have had some discussions about this and he now agrees i will however count my stash as 401 40m until i ve sewn the cut out garments mainly because i want to be able to reduce my stash count the next time i post posted in finished projects patterns sewing sewing plans tagged burda butterick cotton dress fabric jersey pjs simplicity skirt stash tiramisu tops 6 comments purple plaid skirt vogue v1247 posted on february 18 2013 by readythreadsew after cutting out my purple plaid pj pants an even better alliteration i had enough remnants to also cut out another vogue 1247 skirt with a bit of shuffling i could possibly have just cut out a simple two or three piece a line skirt but i decided to use the v1247 pattern because i really want to get more confident about pattern matching and this seemed like a perfect opportunity the fabric was fairly stable the pattern in the fabric was obvious and i had enough odd shaped pieces left after cutting out the pj pants to juggle the pattern pieces around i m pretty happy with the result although in keeping with my february trend of clothes not fitting me the skirt is a smidge too small although still wearable however as my weight tends to fluctuate and i seem to be at the top end of that fluctuation at the moment i m confident that this skirt will get worn at some point please ignore the unfastened hook and eye in the photo of the back i am squishier than dolly and it does fasten on me i am really happy with my plaid matching at all the front and back seams this skirt has a yoke piece strange front pockets and a waistband and not so happy with the side yoke seams i managed to match up both the main side and back seams but not the side seams of the yoke i can t remember why i didn t do this it may have been due to lack of fabric or more likely i got overwhelmed by trying to match up everything so gave up when i was cutting out although looking at the photo of the side seam i do appear to have done quite well with the vertical matching of the red stripe maybe i did that on purpose i do remember that i was using the red stripes as my markers for pretty much every cut i made but if i m really honest i have to admit that i paid absolutely no attention to the vertical stripes so the fact they ended up being quite symmetrical is really just a happy accident this skirt could have looked really nice with the purple top from yesterday s post but that top is now in my maybe i can make something else from this wadder pile i washed it with the hope it would shrink and it did in the wrong direction it is now both too wide and too short fortunately there are so many colours in the skirt that i have lots of other tops that will work with it i also know that mr rts has a great purple and black t shirt that i m fairly sure is too small for him now so i can steal that as a pj top so yesterday s pj pants won t end up orphaned and i won t need to buy more fabric i m now almost too scared to sew anything else i ve already cut out this month because it seems as though nothing will fit me properly then again i still have too many clothes as i posted about last year so it doesn t really matter i think i ll set myself a teeny challenge it s eleven days to the end of the month and i already have nine garments cut out all except one are patterns i ve sewn before and four of them are s3696 so it should be easy to get them all sewn before the end of february they are tiramisu dress simplicity 3696 pj top simplicity 3696 pj pants faux dress skirt and top simplicity 3696 pj pants yet again another simplicity 3696 pj top butterick 5388 the only garment i haven t tried before cowl neck top and another burda 02 2010 104 cut from a previously made skirt eleven days nine garments i m sure you ll all be glued to your screens wondering if i ll make it it s obviously as exciting as the amazing race or project runway posted in sewing sewing plans tagged skirt 4 comments purple plaid pyjamas posted on february 16 2013 by readythreadsew sorry couldn t resist the alliteration before i post about my newest sewing project i have decided that i really should have made a new year resolution i must learn and bother to take better photos i know that i have never taken great photos for this blog this is mainly due to a real lack of usable places in my tiny flat i ve recently re arranged the furniture and this has just made it worse i am going to try to do better i can to some degree blame my camera i got it free with a 60 printer about three years ago so it s not exactly cutting edge however i have on occasion managed to get some okay photos with it so i m going to aim for more of the okay photos rather than the rubbish ones i tend to post on to the sewing before sewing my purple plaid pyjamas today i finally got around to turning my unsuccessful tiramisu dress into a skirt i didn t do anything particularly fancy or clever i simply cut off the bodice created a casing and added elastic i think i now have something i will wear because it no longer feels as though the fabric is trying to drag itself down into the ground it is still a little too thin but i have white half slips that i think will make it presentable i also have these boots that i don t wear nearly often enough even though they are as comfy as slippers they are red although they might look orange in the photo i blame my camera i can t remember if i ve mentioned it before but my comfy plan also extends to my footwear i have been gradually selling off a lot of my uncomfortable high heels on ebay most of them unworn or only worn once and replacing them with comfy footwear since starting this i ve also stopped looking at high heels on the rare occasion i now go into shoe shops and i ve really starting noticing how many fabulous low heeled shoes boots now exist i used to be that person who would buy any pretty shoe especially in a sale no matter how uncomfortable it was now i rarely buy any shoes unless they are really really comfy no more i ll get used to the height even though i haven t really worn anything higher than 2 5 for more than ten years or they ll stretch even when they aren t leather or they re only 10 so i only have to wear them a couple of times and then never wear them at all because they were so uncomfortable to start with etc etc i think mr rts is still surprised when i don t look at shoes when we are out shopping after all those asides i suppose i should post about the title garments my purple plaid pyjamas made...
